In Transit 1

9:40 PM. New York port authority bus terminal.  Departing for Richmond. We should get in by 6:30 am after one stop at 4. 

Today started out great. We all made it out of bed on time and hit the road with plenty of time to make it. We hit traffic but were able to avoid sitting in it by working the back roads. We made it to the station with enough time to print out our 24 separate tickets and got on the bus at 10. Unfortunately we hit some traffic coming  into NYC and missed our 40 minute connection.  Alright.  

The next available route was a 9:30 departur,  which I guess is fine... I don't see the other option. We found food in Times Square,  took a picture with some people who asked for money (but they were wearing costumes so it's cool), and then back packed South down 4th Ave until we got cold and took the subway back to port authority.  We still had hours to kill so we ate a pizza,  played hearts, and listened to the sweet classical play list that port authority rocks. It was pretty cool I guess.  But now it's almost 10 and we still have 24 bus hours to go,  so we'll have to see.  Oh,  and a male prostitute attempted to solicit Sam,  and Brett and I experienced a pretty good solicitation of cash so we can cross that ff the bucket list. 

So that's it.  We're all good - a little late but whatever, man.  Ttyl
